On medium heat, saute the onion and the carrots in an nonstick skillet for 6 minutes. Add rice and cook for another 6 minutes. Place the rice mixture over the meat , add dill, tomato paste, salt , pepper and mix until all the ingredients combine.

Cut a slice off the top of each pepper. Cut out core, remove seeds and white membrane. Spoon meat mixture into peppers and stand them up in a oven prof big pot with cover.

I don’t understand a few things. How much water? It says “Pour over peppers water with 1 tablespoon olive oil”.
Next thing is do you use 1 tablespoon olive oil in the frying pan with the onions and carrots? Just trying to figure it out.
And last thing is do you precook the rice?
Thank you
